Big land yacht Continental getting its yearly inspection. Beautiful rust free vehicle that the owner, who is German, brought in from California some years ago. It probably burned a gallon or two of gas just idling as they inspected it. Spoiler Alert: It passes but mostly because they have exceptions for older vehicles. Side note: Boy that is one clean and orderly inspection station.

A 1970 Lincoln Mark III was “inspected” in the French Connection-

I have a story about Berlin pimps, the cold war, and Harley Davidson choppers from California. Some day I might share it.

It looked like the first test was for front wheel drive.

Maybe that’s why it passed

And back in the good ole US of A, there are states that require zero vehicle inspections. We are blessed to live in one of those 10 states.
